This compilation is best known for setting the stage for a comeback for Manilow, as it debuted at No.

While on a six-week tour to promote his latest album Here at the Mayflower, Manilow immediately extended it to a six-month tour.

Ultimate Manilow, with a slightly different track listing (but with the same number of tracks), was also issued in the United Kingdom in 2004, charting first in March of that year.
